More people are flying their own drones these days. Have you ever wondered what happens if your flying machine gets hit by lightning? Researchers at the University of Manchester’s High Voltage Laboratory conducted an experiment to find the answer to that question. They hit a DJI Phantom 3 drone with an electrical impulse of 1.4 million volts.
